You can't go wrong with this classic chicken recipe. If the West has their chicken noodle soup, we have this ginger chicken soup. It can be made in the classic way, with green papaya and malunggay but during times when you can't find these ingredients, the sayote and some dahon ng sili or even kangkong leaves would work just as well as substitutes.

5. Chicken Sopas Recipe

When it comes to chicken soup, this is the next best dish we have to the chicken noodle soup that the West claims have restorative properties. We just made a few changes to our version. We swapped out the noodles with macaroni and to drive home that homey taste, we added evaporated milk to make the entire soup extra creamy and delicious. That malinamnam flavor just can't be beat!

To spice things up for a change of flavor, you can make simple additions to the recipe like add a touch of cinnamon and use chopped chicken Vienna sausages instead if you don't have fresh chicken to use in the stock.
